continual flux

Our minds, like our bodies, are in continual flux; something is hourly lost, and something acquired. To lose much at once is inconvenient to either, but while the vital power remains uninjured, nature will find the means of reparation. Distance has the same effect on the mind as on the eye; and while we glide along the stream of time, whatever we leave behind us is always lessening, and that which we approach increasing in magnitude. Do not suffer life to stagnate: it will grow muddy for want of motion; commit yourself again to the current of the world ...

Some desire is necessary to keep life in motion.

This is a week for going to the beach and going to the pool and taking long warm baths. This is a week for living like your whole body is water. It’s a week for staring into oceans and lakes and faucets, for watching water swirl down the drain. This week, let your thoughts go clear, let your dreams go blue, let them all fill with salt, let them flow down mountains, let them flow to the sea. It’s a week for being loose, it’s a week for being in motion, it’s a week for being wiser and weirder than you can be on solid ground.

-- Madame Clairevoyant

Gorgeous. Simple. Silent. Motion. Lovely. Ok, I have to lie down now.
